50+ women
I feel like I am floundering in a puddle of hopelessness. Sometimes I think it's my age, and hormone fluctuations that go with it, that will make it next to impossible to lose weight. And then I think that's just my excuse. The more I think that, the more weight I will not only hang on to, but continue to gain. I know it's…

anything for a buck....
This is just a rant. I get so disgusted by people who are supposed to be doctors or weight loss experts who endorse these stupid weight loss schemes. I know it's gone on forever but what triggered this rant is something that popped up on my Facebook page. Someone from the show ' the doctor's has lent her name to that…

Belly fat scams
I have a problem with belly fat. I have other fat too, of course, but the belly fat is the most annoying and most unhealthy. I don't know why the fat gathers there. Stress, hormones? Whatever. It's there and I don't like it. But help me please. There is no pill, drink, food or combination of food, or special exercise that…

it's just me again....
How many times have I restarted? Oh, I don't know. Each time, I do ok for awhile, then I lose my mojo, or whatever you want to call it. I do ok -- not great. I think that may be part of the reason I lose motivation. I'm just not that successful. So , for this fresh start, I'm going to be more positive about myself. I read…

Health Queens
Has anyone else heard of this? I did a 'search' and didn't find any other posts about it. I ran across it on my facebook page and checked it out. It's for women 50 and older. They have these weekly 'webinars'. I watched part of one. It was ok, but I get the feeling they are just trying to sell me something. I probably…

coconut oil
I guess I've been living under a rock because yesterday was the first time I've ever heard the hype about this product. I was intrigued and did some research. And as with most things, there are reports of how amazing it is, and reports of the harm it can do. After reading different opinions, I have come to the conclusion…

fresh start -- a few friends would be nice
At first, when I re-joined, I didn't want friends. I told myself that keeping track of my own business is what I need to do. I didn't need to hear about anyone else, or be told to keep my chin up when things go poorly, or be told what a great job I'm doing when things go well. But I think I may have been wrong. I rarely…

Can do!!
Yes, I can! I have been a member here, off and on, for a long time. I've had previous accounts and deleted them because I felt like I wasn't doing myself or anyone any good. But I have been spending a lot of time lately, looking at pictures. I have a high school graduate this spring and am working on some displays, etc.…

Fear
Today I saw a lady I had not seen for a long time. Last time I saw her she was looking great. She had lost weight and seemed so happy. Today she looked miserable. She had gained back all the weight she lost and then some. I don't know her well, she's just someone I see once in awhile, so I would not go and talk to her…

the biggest loser workout
I dug out my old biggest loser workout. It's pretty old. I don't know what season the contestants were on, but it had Matt and Suzy-- the couple that met on the show and got married. Anyway, the only reason I mention it is because I am really enjoying it. It's Bob, back when I still liked him. It's back when the show…

comfort
Hi. My name is Carol and I have been a member here for quite some time. I deleted a previous account and opened another awhile back to have a fresh start. This is just a way for me to keep track as sometimes I need a reality check. Th bottom line for me is that I don't feel comfortable in my own skin anymore. I have…

Sick and tired.....
I have attempted this many times. I am sick and tired of myself and not following through. I am just posting this for myself. To remind myself of why I need to take this seriously. Because if I don't change my attitude then nothing will change. So I'm going to track my calories, and exercise. Honestly, I would probably not…
